oh, just be that way.
That's what I get for trying to be helpful, when I've got deadlines on my mind.
All that and the MGB V8 newsletter is printing in the background in some kind
of weird alien script. But I digress.
As usual Lew, you are quite right.
The gist of the point is that the anti run on switch works backwards from what
you want.
It turns off the gulp valve circuit when oil pressure drops to zero, thus
giving the clunk anyone with a 74 or newer MGB knows and loves. This means it
is Normally open, but closes when there is oil pressure.
ok, I'm going back to my spread sheets again. Working for a British Sports Car
company isn't all flash and glamour.
all the best
Kelvin.
